The APMA highly recommends that consumers educate themselves about each specific toning product and what it has been designed for to help avoid injury. Individuals with tight posterior calf muscles or Achilles tendons may not be able to tolerate toning shoes, as they put increased strain on these body parts.

Additionally, keep in mind the following when considering toning shoes as part of your exercise routine:

Ease into wear. Toning footwear often has a break-in period in order to be worn safely and effectively. All types of toning shoes should first be worn for short periods of time, until the body adjusts to the new style of walking. Those with pre-existing balance or stability problems may want to avoid wearing toning footwear.

Look for the APMA Seal. Several toning footwear products, such as Reebok’s EasyTone and those made by Grasshoppers, Avia, and Ryka, have been evaluated by the APMA and found to be foot-friendly. These products have been granted the APMA’s Seal of Acceptance.

Find the right design for you. There are numerous types and brands of toning footwear currently on the market, including designs created specifically for running or walking only. Since there are differences in how toning shoes are constructed, find a toning shoe that fits the foot comfortably and that does not cause your natural gait to feel too unstable. Read product packaging and description for the manufacturers recommended use.
